Are you going to give it to FB so they can get a quarterback or BB so they can get a center?

Of five is significant. Plus, basketball has never had the resources that football has had.

The vast majority of ND athletics fans(especially those with the real money) are going to try to help ND football over any other sport ten times out of ten.

that I would support the basketball program. I was encouraged to see Paxson at a game earlier this year as well as the news he is getting involved. We are going to need more former players and alums with deep pockets getting involved.

and obviously Mike would know better than me, but one of the supposed requirements from Shrews when he was being hired was a strong interest and plan for NIL for the team. That was an issue with PSU and Shrews was vocal about it.

I know for a fact that PSU had plans in place to significantly ramp up NIL spending on basketball if he had stayed.

There was even rumblings about building a brand new practice facility there.

Hopefully some donors step up, otherwise the men will remain the #2 tenant at Purcell.

He basically said they're trying, but you also need people to donate to it. Of course, that can also be an institutional problem if they're not putting the priority on finding the donors. Tough to really tell based on a quick comment like that.

Or are there hard feelings over MB’s departure?

He would know that it was time for MB to go.
